32 bits OS ?
You will need a 64bit version of windows to take full advantage of the 4Gb.

Yep, you need 64bit Windows to use more than 4gigs of ram,
or... you can use a more superior 32-bit OS, something capable of using PAE kernel

From what I understand, 32bit Windows OS's see the 4GB of RAM, it just allocates some of it for other resources right off the bat. Nothing you can do about but live with it.
Are you letting Windows handle the Virtual Memory? With paging, I think you can have around 6GB of memory, RAM+Virtual, for 32bit Windows.
